Life's Better on the Ranch Dressing

It's no secret, kids like Ranch dressing. They love to dip everything in it. Besides ketchup it is the 2nd most highly ordered dipping sauce at restaurants and the No.1 salad dressing, surpassing Italian.

Making your own at home is not only simple but something the kids can help you make.

I serve this, and a bleu cheese sauce, with my smoked BBQ chicken wings.
